Will post more when details arise

[greatauntoftriplets]

1. Can he swim?

Probably just a photo op, it's unlikely that he'll walk around and actually talk to people to see what they need.

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. There is so much I want to post to my OP - but want to respect the victims of his horrible storm

so will keep my views to myself right now...but ditto what you say...

[catrose]

22. How's he even going to land?

The rain won't have stopped by then. He'd better bring hip waders. Or better yet: STAY HOME.

[greatauntoftriplets]

24. That's a very good question.

Depending on where the flooding is in two days, the airports might not even be open and the streets are still likely to be a mess. He should stay away.

[ananda]

26. That was my question?

Where is AF1 going to land?

[Doreen]

28. Maybe they will push him over the deepest flooded section.

Yeah, yeah, pipe dream but hey.

[Sgent]

37. Ellington Field / Johnson space center

is a major military installation, and I haven't heard of anything being closed. The USCG is currently operating out of it.

[catrose]

42. Got my answer

He's coming to Austin. Grrr.

[onecent]

3. I wonder if he will wear a 3 piece suit with a large tie!!!!!

[musette_sf]

4. either that, or the Alt-Right Golf Team uniform n/t

[musette_sf]

43. ** I WIN!!! Alt-Right Golf Team Uniform it is!!! **

[forgotmylogin]

32. He'll cruise through in his yacht.

The one with all the stuff happening that he wouldn't tell the boy scouts.

[MFM008]

5. BLOTUS

will save the day by passing out much needed playdough.............

[spiderpig]

6. As always, it will be all about him.

How many electoral votes he got in Texas, his hotels and golf courses in Texas, how Texans love him...

[leftynyc]

39. How about he opens those hotels

and resorts to those who have no place to go right now? The one in Florida has a flood of cancellations (pun intended).

[spiderpig]

41. I will never forget Barbara Bush in the Astrodome during Katrina.

(chuckling) "Well most of these people were underprivileged anyway, so this is working out very well for them."

There are no words.

[Achilleaze]

7. He'll be bringing a beautiful chocolate cake*

* No storm victims need bother applying. The "beautiful" cake & Two Special Scoops are exclusively for republican "billionaire" Comrade Casino, the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.

[NastyRiffraff]

8. And the people of Texas say:

"Oh pleaegodno!"

The good, sane people there, that is. Deplorables will expect him to walk on water.

[AKing]

9. Sleeves rolled up? Yes or No? I say no. Last thing they need is him draining resources by coming

[Vinca]

10. Well, he has to because Obama wisely stayed away and didn't overburden police and

rescue workers. How many people who might be saving lives will be pulled from that to duty guarding the Orange Infant?

[Control-Z]

11. Are there Trump properties nearby

where he can offer to put these poor people up, use as shelters?

[nikatnyte]

12. Of course--and for a 10% discount, too!

[Control-Z]

13. Oh, no. I think you're mistaken.

There will be a 10% surcharge.

[rurallib]

14. so much for not getting in the way

Wonder how he will spin this disaster so he can talk all about himself?

[BeyondGeography]

15. Too early for that

By a few days, at least.

[spinbaby]

18. Seriously

They're now predicting Harvey will go out to sea and turn to hit Houston on Wednesday.

[leftynyc]

40. That changed this morning

Now it's expected to hit east of Houston around the Beaumont area - close to Louisiana.

[Solly Mack]

16. I'd ask if he knows this isn't about him, but we are talking Trump.

[cstanleytech]

17. Does Texas really need another windbag so soon?

[NCjack]

20. Does the Orange Turd know about Texas Rattlesnakes, and how

irritable they are after a big flood? He should stomp around in the weeds and rubble. Get a real sense of the landscape that has to be cleared before rebuilding can start.

[SunSeeker]

19. Oh good God, haven't those people suffered enough?

[paleotn]

21. I wonder what he thinks of climate change now?

Harvey isn't going anywhere until Thursday and may swing back out to sea, making yet another landfall. I don't think they need his royal presence until the storm finally clears....that is unless his highness wants to man a boat and help with the rescues that may be occurring until the middle of this week.

[fierywoman]

27. Ya mean he can't drive a golf cart around pickin' people up?

[paleotn]

31. Nope..

He'll show up, spout a few vague phrases Kelly made him memorize, then make 2 or 3 insensitive, off the cuff remarks and quickly jet away, wondering why 65% of the country thinks he's a monumental ass for turning a human tragedy into twittler photo op. "Isn't it all about him, anyway?" It's his usual pattern.

[jabberwock]

33. Nah.

He'll say the weather was perfect, the golfing was great, and the fake news media just made it all up to draw attention away from him.

[gilligan]

23. Great.

He'll probably throw another rally.

[OxQQme]

25. Just as soon as he get's 'ALL' the facts n/t

[Wolf Frankula]

29. He'll be going to the Corpus Christi Country Club to play golf.

Maybe he'll have time to look at the damage.

Wolf

[TexasBushwhacker]

34. He'll go to CC because it's in a red county n/t

[Doreen]

30. He's gonna have a rally for his base.

He is going to let his followers who he will refuse to help that it is Hillary's and Obama's fault.

[olddad56]

35. Like every situation involving this wacko, he will just make things worse.

[bluecollar2]

36. This should help Trump on his visit

[hexola]

38. There should be NOBODY available to deal with TrumpCo's photo op...

These folks are going to be WAY TO BUSY to even take his call - or they should be...
